Mrs. Gretchen Pace
Massage Therapist and Cold Laser Specialist
I am Gretchen Pace, Certified Massage Therapist at WindSong Wellness Center. I grew up in the Fort Collins area, and currently live here with my wonderful husband and two beautiful children (along with my small zoo of two large dogs, and two cute kitties). It has been my pleasure to work with Dr. Melissa since 2002 – and I am still amazed by her on a regular basis. In my time at WindSong I have been lucky enough to see Dr. Melissa grow from healer to healer and mother, and to watch her find and align herself with other great doctors and staff. I feel truly blessed to love what I do, and to be able to work
with the amazing, caring individuals who make up WindSong Wellness Center.
I received my Massage certification in 2004 from the Institute of Business and Medical Careers in Fort Collins. Massage Therapy is and has been a very rewarding career choice for me. My specialty is deep tissue massage. It is my belief and my practice that not all deep tissue work needs to be painful. There are many different techniques which I integrate into each session that will help to alleviate a trigger point or tender point with little or no pain. Some of the techniques I use are:
- Positional Release Technique involves finding a tender point and then moving the body into a position which decreases that tenderness, allowing the area to be worked out more comfortably.
- Low Level Laser Therapy helps to speed healing throughout the body on a cellular level.
- Pain/Primal Reflex Release Technique is amazing work that quickly releases pain patterns in many of those “chronic areas” of the body. This is great work for many people, especially some hard to treat cases such as Fibromyalgia.
- Guasha breaks up adhesion's in the muscles leaving a rash or bruise like redness to the skin – bringing the body’s healing efforts to the affected area.
- Raindrop Technique is a unique procedure using essential oils to help encourage detoxification and relaxation to the body.
- Reiki is energy work that is very healing and profoundly relaxing.
It is always my priority to deliver the style of massage that you need and want, which is sometimes difficult to balance, but with patient input and communication this goal can be effectively achieved.
Mrs. Shawn Hayes
I am Shawn Hayes, Office Manager and Chiropractic Assistant at Windsong Wellness Center. I grew up in New Jersey and migrated to the west in 1989. I live in Fort Collins with my two wonderful teenage sons and our beloved dog and cat. I have returned to the field of alternative health care after a 20 year hiatus, during which I studied early childhood education and worked in the special education field. I was lucky enough to find Dr. Melissa Logue to be our family wellness doctor and after a few years was even more fortunate to become part of the amazing team here at Windsong Wellness Center.
While raising my children and working with special needs students, I began to see the correlation between natural health and nutrition and the overall well being of children and their levels of functioning. I began my own personal study in food and nutrition and their affects on children with learning disabilities. With my passion in this area and the amazing wealth of knowledge from Dr. Logue and Gretchen Pace, I feel blessed to continue this area of study and serve the community as an advocate for alternative health care. It is my belief that with a few ingredients: good food, music, and love, we can change the world.
